Oddities

A pleasing anagrammatic baseball name, I saw a man called Odubel hit a double (Odubel Herrera plays for the Phillies)

In the hotel in Oakland, the first time stepped into the lift, a buzzer went off and a bright red button lit up on the control panel with the work "SEISMIC" on it!

Winning 4 game tickets by blowing some plastic cups over by blowing through a straw?  C'mon, man!

I'm sad to have missed the Chewbacca bobblehead giveaway at AT&T Park in a couple of weeks' time.

I like the music choices at Target Field to cover challenges of plays that have been called the Twins way - it's Let It Be.

I've got a GoTo card - allowing me to go to lots of places in Minneapolis & St Paul.

Many thanks to Mary E and her supervisor at the Twins Plaza ticket office who, on my day of departure, gave me a refund for the rain-out on Friday night - despite the fact that the website said "no refunds".

Special mention for the lady on the information desk on the arrivals level at Toronto Pearson airport terminal 1 this evening.  She spent most of 90 minutes phoning around hotels trying to find me (and others) a room for the night, without success.

Special mention of another kind for Air Canada for providing ONE person to help people at customer services, leading to queues of over an hour and a half - and then providing pretty much sod all assistance to anybody.

A bonus sight: dawn and sunrise over Toronto.
